Not sure why you'd want one, but hertz has a hybrid category, and I'd bet other companies do as well.

I wanted to know if you can pick a hybrid search option on third party sites like kayak?

also I always though SUV are gas guzzlers but for example Budget had a Intermediate SUV as getting 36 m/per gallon better than the smaller cars? which car rental site will give me easy access to miles/gallon

How far are you driving already? Also the cost of a hybrid will most like outweigh the gas savings. They are taking advantage of the green people.

how can i check how many miles per gallon the rental car gets? is it normally by grouping, ie compact/economy/medium/full etcc
also I don't think anybody guarantees a make and model only something within that group so how can you really secure a fuel efficient rental car?

hybrid cars usually recharge themselves when running on gas

Correct, when returned to rental does the battery have to be filled to the original amount?

How would you do that if it's not a plugin? I.e. do they expect you to drive around on the highway for a while to charge it?? I assume not.

There is nothing to do for the battery so no

Enterprise has a "Electric Sports Car" category which they put the Tesla Model S into. We took it during our December trip to Disney in Orlando. Swapped it out 2 days later for a Stingray because I realized that only Epcot had charging stations for the Tesla, and I didn't have any free time in my itinerary to spend charging the Tesla.
